Banyuls sur Mer

These pictures have been made during a one week course in marine biology held by David Senn and Urs Wüest in Banyuls sur Mer, France. Topic of this course was plancton and this was also what we have seen mostly during the dives ;-) The visibility was not very good

About the dive base only this: Where are we going to dive today? — Out of the harbour, then right around the corner. — Where are we going to dive tomorrow? — Out of the harbour, then right around the corner. — And the day after tomrrow? — Out of the harbour, then right around the corner. — You have a nice aluminum boat. How many people can it carry? — 40 divers — Are all diving at the same time? — Yes! — What's the name of your dive base? — Réderis Sub Tuesday, September 30, 2003, 11 photos.

Anemone with Ghost Crab: An anemone with many little soaring shrimps. Later a friend of mine discovered a very well hidden ghost crab on the left side of the anemone. — Nikon Coolpix 990, Banyuls sur Mer, Mediterranean Sea, France, September 2003

Fish: At one time the water extraordinary clear ... usually the visibility was about 1-3 meters, probably due to the many marine biology students taking dive courses at the same time and sitting on the ground. — Nikon Coolpix 990, Banyuls sur Mer, France, Oktober 2003
